Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent: Youth Engagement and Development (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00088) is a discretionary National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement under the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI). It is tied to an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC00012) between the NPS and the Citizen Conservation Corps of West Virginia, and it operates as a task agreement under that broader partnership. The overall purpose is to carry out projects that both conserve and improve natural and cultural resources while also creating meaningful work experiences that build skills, confidence, and employment readiness for youth and adults.
The specific project work described in this task agreement focuses on preservation and rehabilitation work on historic structures. A crew will complete painting and staining on historic buildings, along with minor repairs to wood features and surfaces. The scope explicitly includes work on windows, doors, porches, and steps, which are common points of wear on older structures and are important to maintaining the buildings safety, usability, and historic integrity. In addition to building-related work, the crew will rehabilitate wooden tables and benches used in four historic Cabin Camp dining halls and lodges, correcting deficiencies and restoring these high-use furnishings so they remain serviceable and consistent with the historic setting.
Beyond the physical improvements, the opportunity is framed as a youth engagement and workforce development effort. By placing participants on essential park projects, the program is designed to provide training and hands-on learning in practical conservation and historic preservation tasks, while also supporting broader community benefits such as strengthened local capacity, educational enhancement, and improved self-esteem through tangible accomplishments. The end result is meant to be twofold: better-protected historic park assets and a stronger pipeline of young people gaining real-world experience in conservation, maintenance, and resource stewardship.
In terms of funding and administrative details, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $83,386 with one expected award. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number is 15.931. The posting and creation dates are March 29, 2016, with an application closing date of April 8, 2016. Eligibility is noted as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full eligibility text, which aligns with the fact that this is connected to an existing cooperative agreement and appears intended for implementation through the identified partner organization under the established terms and conditions of that agreement.
